The fitted spectra along with the different model components and residuals, for both epochs (E1 & E2) are presented in the left and right panel of Fig. REF  (See. Table REF  for the best-fit parameters), respectively. For the broad-band continuum, we used the TBabs [1]} model inbuilt in XSPEC to account for the Galactic neutral hydrogen column density. The most recent abundance model [2]}, inbuilt in XSPEC, was adopted as an abundance input for the TBabs model. The best-fit absorption column density, \(n_H\)  (in units of 10\(^{22}\)  cm\(^{-2}\) ) was found to be 0.62\(^{+0.02}_{-0.02}\)  and 0.59\(^{+0.01}_{-0.01}\)  for the epochs E1 and E2, respectively. These values show significant excess over the Galactic value in the direction of source as estimated by the online tools of the LAB Surveyhttps://www.astro.uni-bonn.de/hisurvey/profile/index.php [3]} (n\(_{H} = 0.26 \times 10^{22} cm^{-2}\) ) implying the presence of intrinsic excess absorption in this BHXRB system.
